So then it is cool if I send my kids and all their friends to stand outside of your house and scream for a couple hours? After all, they're just children playing. If you object to that, you are obviously a filthy communist.

I (temporarily) live in suburbia....the above is pretty much the norm. I don't call the cops, I just turn my headphones up a little louder.

Sounds like my neighborhood every day when the weather is nice. I just turn my music up and drown them out.

Sure, if your kids are special needs kids (seems likely) and they do it once a year, in the afternoon, and for a real charity then sure, send em over. I would even buy some.

You see, my house has an amazing space-age feature. It has WINDOWS and they close!

sleeps in trees:Well, right as we speak, I have a guy power washing his house on one side and five teenage girls on the other singing to Miley Cyrus (badly). It's pretty much par for the course. They put up with me playing metal and loud house guests, I return the favour.

Not to mention the constantly running lawn mowers and weed whackers.

Can not wait till our house is built and I can move back out to the country.

I have two families with young children as neighbors and they often have pool parties. The kids yell and scream once in a while. Usually doesn't last more than an hour. No big deal.

That is NOT the same as having kids yelling at every car that goes by. And as somebody else in the thread noted, kids with Downs can sometimes lack a volume control. I have a friend with a mosaic Downs daughter and I can attest to that. When she gets excited, her internal volume knob goes to 11.

Mimic_Octopus:Brittabot: According to TFA, the kids do this every year on Canada Day to raise money for a hospital.

I could see a neighbor getting annoyed if they were doing this daily what with the noise and running around and everything, but FFS, they're kids, selling lemonade, on a holiday, for a good cause.

Dear neighbor lady: Why dont you go back in your house, wash the sand out of your vagina, put on some music to drown out the sounds of happy children, and maybe reevaluate your life if this is something for which you'd seriously consider calling EMERGENCY SERVICES.

fark your happy children. sell that shiat in front of your own house and do it without screaming. every farking craft project your douche bag offspring wants to perpetrate is not a protected event. just shut up and go home. and the lady did go out multiple times and tell him to stop yelling before calling teh cops

KellyKellyKelly:TheGreatGazoo: I have a nephew who is autistic. His voice is either at 0 or up to 11. There isn't much in between.

I'd hate to have someone like that yelling outside my window if I had to work the night shift or something.

And of course ALL autistic kids are EXACTLY like your nephew. No in-between.

Of course all autistic kids are different. I'm just saying we may not have all of the facts. If you have some kid outside your window yelling at every car going past at voice level 11, that can get really old really quick.

And yes, my house has windows that close. They are single pane/lousy windows. They don't block much.

If it's an hour, you can run to the grocery store or something. If it is all day then it gets really obnoxious really fast.

Dinjiin:Burning_Monk: f you can't handle some loud kids for a couple hours

It really depends on how loud they are.

I think it's fascinating how this has gone from being an autistic kid hosting a lemonade stand for one afternoon to a child with Downs syndrome standing outside for several days screaming nonstop. Its like a game of telephone!

Things are easier to argue against when you blow them way out of proportion.

No Such Agency:Ambitwistor:Wall_of_Doodoo: Man, scared the kid so bad he started 'balling his eyes out', that's hardcore.

"DADDY ATE MY EYES!"

/you're welcome

Yeah, not gonna click it. Won't ever forget it and was one of the reasons that line stuck out to me.

This time the thought of that older story was occumpanied with the mental imagine of a little 9 year old autistic kid crying and holding a melon baller in each of his little clenched fists getting ready to 'ball his eyes out'......

He should have the book thrown at him and do hard time. He defied The Rule of Law! He should have gone through all of the proper channels, as it is he is just a scumbag criminal. Where will it stop? Can just anybody decide to open a lemonade stand now? This is crazy, laws were clearly broken, no one is above the law! Anybody who says otherwise is a filthy apologist for the worst kind of lawless criminal attention whoring pukes!

I'll play devils advocate. Honestly, there are food and safety regulations for a reason. If some kid had a lemonade stand and people became violently ill for whatever reason (the kid sprinkled moms drugs in the lemonade or let it grow bacteria in a jar in the closet for a month) people would be angry. It's only when a kid is cute or developmentally challenged that people give them a free pass. You don't get to break the law because you're a child. Right is right and wrong is wrong.

That picture reminds me of a pr0n I once watched with my ex. The guy was supposed to be a priest -he had the whole black coat and pants, clerical collar, etc... He was getting a knobber from somechick up at the pulpit and as it went on, horns started growing from his forehead. The more the chickgobbled, the bigger the horns got.

Really bad effects and the Catholic in me was more than a little disturbed.

Not bad..not bad says the devil. Really though, this could have played out quite differently.
